Snapdragon 820-powered Windows Phone handset spotted on GFXBench

Sunday, December 13, 2015

A mysterious
new Windows Phone device, dubbed HP Falcon, was spotted listed on
benchmarking site GFXBench. The most interesting piece of information the
listing reveals is that the handset is powered by Qualcomm's upcoming
Snapdragon 820 SoC.

The listing
also reveals that the smartphone sports a 5.8-inch 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution
display, although keep in mind that benchmarks have got screen size wrong quite
a few times in the past.

The report card
also reveals a 20MP rear and a 12MP front camera. The memory configuration (1GB
RAM and 43GB storage), however, doesn't seem to be inline with the
aforementioned specs, suggesting that at least some of these numbers aren't
correct.

Coming back to
the name, it's a bit difficult to digest that the handset is from HP, as there
have been no news whatsoever on that front - not even rumors. It could instead
be a Lumia device from Microsoft given that we've already heard some rumors of
a smartphone to top the 950XL.
